  1. What is the mempool?
    [Ans] Mempool is a special storage location that is used by any node in the network to store the transaction that is received but has not yet been confirmed/written on the blockchain. Each node in the network may hold a slightly different set of transactions in mempool as the transaction propagates through the network.
  2. What happens if the miners can’t keep up with the rate of the new transaction?
    [Ans] The size of mempool will increase as it will have to hold more number of transactions there.
  3. How does a growing mempool effect transaction fees?
    [Ans] Since the miner are incentivized with a fee for writing transactions on the blockchain, they choose transactions that have a higher fees. If mempool size grows, transaction time will increase. People will tend to offer more Fees to get their transactions a priority.

  1. All unconfirmed transactions. (Transactions waiting to be accepted into a block and written in the history books, forever)

  2. The mempool gets larger, fee per byte will likely go up as those who want their tx accepted asap will alter suggested fees to a higher amount than whats currently going through which in turn raises the average rate and so on.

  3. As explained above, some people might want their tx to go through sooner so they will up their fee per byte which will then flow on to the next who may want theirs first, increasing the fees further

  1. The mempool is the set of all transactions that have been broadcasted to the network but haven’t been confirmed yet (i.e.: included into a block).

  2. The mempool keeps growing and the average time required to get transactions confirmed increase

  3. As miners will prioritise transaction with high fees (monetary incentive) a way to get ahead of the queue when the mempool is big is to pay higher fees. This in turn may deter people from submitting more transactions and cause the mempool to reduce in size

  2. The mempool size will grow and eventually end up in longer transaction time
  3. Higher the transaction fee higher the chance of getting confirmation. So if the transaction has less fee then that transaction will be prioritized as low and take longer transaction time.
